Rajasthan highway blocked over compensation for accident victims' families
The victims belonged to the Chhoti Sadri village. Anguished villagers have refused to collect the bodies and have blocked the National Highway 113 demanding for compensation.
In order to ease the blockade, an ex-gratia of Rs 1.75 lakh was announced for each of the victims' families, said Pratapgarh Additional District Magistrate Hemendra Nagar. Nineteen people were also injured, of which two were said to be critical, he added.
